1. Hide and Seek
- First hide a few treats in plain sight. You may have to show them where they are to get the game
started.
- Place your dog in another room after showing them the treats for a good build up.
- Then start hiding them under and behind things. Hide bits of treats around the house when your
dog is not looking. Maybe you have a tracker instead of a Coton.
Play builds communication skills, provides exercise, provides an alternative to conventional training, and
play bonds the dog to the person.
2. Dog Party
- This is the best exercise you can do with your Coton for the inside. Ask a friend to bring their dog
over for play. Dog play dates upkeep socialization.
- Make sure that all dogs have had a potty break prior to play.
- Make sure that there is enough room that the dogs will not get hurt while at play.
- Pizza is good for the 2 legged animal.
- Soon after they learn to play well together, you can arrange a overnight pajama party for incase you
need an overnight baby sitter.
3. The Shell Game
Teach your puppy the doggie version of the Old Shell Game.
- You will need some fragrant treats and three identical plastic containers, such as cottage cheese
tubs.
- Start with just one, letting your puppy watch you hide a treat under the inverted container. Then
encourage her to find it.
- When she's figured that out, add the second container and let her sniff out the one hiding the treat.
- Then add the third.
- Soon you'll be able to mix them around and she'll still find the right one.
- Invite your friends to play against your pup....your puppy will win and amaze your friends.
